Audrea Gause, 26, of Troy, N.Y., was arrested Friday and charged with larceny over $250.

According to the Massachusetts attorney general's office, Gause claimed she suffered a traumatic brain injury as a result of the Boston Marathon bombing.

According to an investigation by the Attorney General's Office, One Fund officials received a detailed and notarized claim from Gause on June 3, which included several pages of purported medical records, indicating that she had been hospitalized at the Boston Medical Center for two days, and then at the Albany Medical Center for 10 days.

The claim allegedly said that Gause sustained a brain injury from the Boston Marathon bombing and experienced long-term memory loss, impaired speech, and loss of some motor function that would require future surgery.

The attorney general's office says based on the information contained in the claim and the attached purported medical records, Gause’s claim was approved for payment.

At the end of June, The One Fund administrator sent Gause a letter confirming her claim had been approved and subsequently paid that claim.

After receiving information that Gause may not have been in Boston during the bombing, an investigation began.

The probe determined that Gause was not a patient at Boston Medical Center on the day of the bombing as claimed and was not a patient at Albany Medical Center at the times entered on her notarized claim form.

Gause was arrested by Massachusetts State Police on a fugitive warrant Friday afternoon in Troy, N.Y.
